It’s now Hour 19 and I’ve woken up from sleep. I finished „Wir kommen“ and I’m happy I finally did so!!! I only had to read 32 pages (which sounds sooo little), but 32 pages in this book feel like 100 in another. But let’s stop talking about this book.

The next book I’ll read is „Two Boys Kissing“! I’m excited to see what it’s all about(:
Happy reading and see you in the next update!

It’s here again. If you know me, you know I continue to participate in the best readathon ever. It starts at the same time all over the world and goes on for 24 hours. The 2 best thjngs about are the reading (obvs) and the networking. Sometimes you get caught scrolling through Instagram and Twitter for 30 minutes every hour. Whoops 😀
This time I can only start now, which is the Hour 9! But since you’re not forced to read all of the hours, that is no problem. And since I’ve been participating for some time now, I feel different about it.

The first 2 times I was so eager and no one could disturb me. I nearly read the whole night and then fell into some kind of coma. Now I know it’s okay to sleep and not read every hour. For me it’s important to know it’s happening (feel it in the heart and soul) and to scroll through the networks! It’s a great time of the year.
I have some books I want to read next and even grabbed some „short books“. These are my opportunities:

Wir Kommen (Ronja von Rönne)

The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

Two Boys Kissing (David Levithan)

Hüter der fünf Leben (Nica Stevens)

The life-changing magic of tydying (Marie Kondo)

My starting point will be „Wir kommen“ where I’m already on page 173 from a total of 205 pages. (read before the readathon started)

Okay. My last post on here was when? A freaking YEAR ago? Okay, that’s one point to prove my headline. It’s not bloggish-clickbait, trust me.
I wanna give you a quick overlook on my life right now: I’m nearly turning 18, I’m finishing school and I’m in the middle of my final exams right now. Wow.

On the other hand I just came back from my vacation with my sister to… ICELAND! And as everyone will tell you: it’s gorgeous and life-changing. I experienced it myself. Before I wanted to be a teacher. Now I want to do something bigger with more freedom. I always felt myself gravitating towards managing something and now I (again) have the desire to fulfill that dream. But what about me becoming a teacher? That would probably be the best kinda job for me and I wanted to be a teacher several times in my life. I even have some kinda practice.

So what comes next? Right now I have to get my learning process going, but what am I doing? Watching Netflix, sleeping till noon and eating mostly chocolate. What do I want to do? Do yoga, study like a badass for those bomb grades, eat colourful and less chocolate. I also wanna get up between 7 and 8. I’m lost.

After I am done with exams: write applications for uni’s. Duh. I know I have to, but I kinda don’t want to and I’m always pushing it further away. After that I should go and search for a job for the inbetween. (The time between school and uni.) And what about being 18? Do I have to deal with insurance??
As you can see: it’s kinda messed up right now and I have the feeling I kinda lost a bit of the control. I don’t know how to get it back, but I want to. I even would like to post some more stuff on here (not only book-related anymore), but I haven’t gotten there yet. I’m willing to, but I „just can’t“. Well, with that I want to say goodbye for now. See ya! Ps: Don’t forget Deweys 24hour readathon this weekend!!

Ps2: What I just wrote was without any structure and it came straightly from my mind, unfiltered. Please keep that in mind.

Take breaks from reading. (check social networks, listen to music, play on your phone, dance, listen to an audiobook)

If the sun isstill up, go for a walk and take an audiobook with you!

may add some more! comment your tips!!(:

Eleanor… Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough…Eleanor.

Park… He knows she’ll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There’s a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises…Park.

Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.
